Lafarge Exshaw Cement Plant
Canada
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2017
Set on the edge of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Lafarge’s newly modernized cement plant is a showcase in environmental and economic efficiency. First constructed in 1906, updated facilities operate the latest in cement production technology and greatly improve its capacity to serve markets across western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. Home to 160 proud employees, Lafarge Exshaw is the largest cement plant in Canada and is instrumental in building the communities in which we live, work and play.
Lower Carbon Fuels Research Project
Lafarge and its partners are embarking on a million-dollar study on the environmental benefits of introducing lower carbon fuels at its Exshaw Cement Plant. Building off research from four other Canadian cement plants, this multi-partner, multi-site research project is the most significant of its kind in Canada.
he overall goal is to reduce carbon emissions to align with the province of Alberta’s Climate Change Leadership plan. As part of the research project, Lafarge wants to replace 30-50 per cent of fossil fuel use at Canadian plants with lower carbon fuels by 2020.

How Cement is Made
มุมมอง 426K7 ปีที่แล้ว
Cement is manufactured by thermally treating a mineral mixture of limestone, sandstone and shale, with some minor raw materials, allowing Exshaw to serve the community by using waste products that would otherwise be landfilled. Raw materials for cement production include: limestone, which is quarried from immediately north of the Plant; shale, quarried near Seebe; and sandstone, which is quarri...
Somehow I don't think the Romans used this process to make cement.... at least I've yet to stroll through the ruins of a roman cement plant! 😂

Awesome cement manufacturers beautiful World class limestone alumina sillica iron
LOL, what a joke of a video.
it's so hard to think about it
Good luck on the test guys!
Sad because your plant is way prettier than ours.

Great plant. Helping the world to live at a higher living standard. Making poor people into middle class people.
good sounding guitar playing
Greetings from Lagos Nigeria Lafarge
worked here for a shut down last winter and I had a lot of fun
yea the shutdown just started today, its fucking miserable out there right because of the water pumps clogging then flooding and creating ice everywhere.
Alpena Lafarge is best LaFarge.
Very good. I am happy for the company. My regard to you all who are producing cement. I pray GOD to give me the grace to have a company like this to produce cement.
This is an amazing video! So well explained, and helped me a lot with my studies! You are so lucky to have a such great company.
All those people are way to clean to actually work there
There is a cement factory at my hometown. Growing up I always hated this factory because they brought so much ashes to surrounding areas. Not much green plant can survive around this factory. Also, cement factory blew up a lot of rocky hills to get the raw materials ( limestones). When I was younger I spent so much time staring at these green hills and wondered what animals were behind these thick bushes. Sadly, cement factory blew these hills one by one with dynamite. Sometimes I think it’s really contradicting…why destroy nature wonders to create “man-made” buildings? Why do human choose to go from full-of-life green to lifeless grey…?
It would be much nicer if we didn't have roads, bridges and high rise condos... we need to go back the basics of a horse and cart.
Start with not using your computer perhaps?
Maybe live around one cement plant for a few years and comment later ?
@@janetwong5124 Stop consuming electricity, batteries, driving cars etc, and then talk about "evil man-made objects destroying nature in the process."
What is the mix called with limestone, shale and sandstone ?
Pre-homo mix, is what I think he said. I think they mean it as an abbreviation of homogenous mix. Which makes sense as all the ingredients need to be crushed into powder and mixed to a perfect blend.

Cement making is a massive contributor to CO2 greenhouse gas emissions. Notice the nice PR lady did not mention any mitigation or removal efforts of CO2. This process using Limestone is archaic and will soon be replaced by innovative companies researching/scaling other Carbon neutral/negative technologies.
CO2 makes plants grow and greens the planet. "Innovation", as it is called, raises the cost of living for normal folks.
Just as I read in the book
i have hole 1 page to read about cement how it made it wouls take me hour to end the hole chapter so i am looking for shortcut
pls Can you tell me? Porduct😍
I just started running a concrete plant. This was very well made and educational. Thanks for the video!
Where is the plant located if I may ask?
it is located in hell,hahaha@@irinabugatova4156
Mmm lung cancer
thats why they wear respirators, except for the quarry guys they actually WANT to die
@@DR-fc1ey There is a certain amount of overwhelming cancer dust that makes any amount of protective equipment more cosmetic than functional. This is one of those environments.
wtf are these comments?
Too bad it didn't show actual cement at the end and the inside equipment.
Great
I FREAKING LOVE THE BACKGROUND :D, i was vibing and head-banging during the whole video :D. Thanks for the great info also, but i deffinately had a lot of fun watching !
Mind blown that big of a operation only has 160 employees.
🤮🤢
In Hindi language
The non-chinese and non- indian C02 emmission must be staggering
So that's how it's made........thankyou I've always wondered how cement was made
This is making me wanna go work there😂
I had the same thought haha
Do it. It’s a rewarding job, but it’s hard work. Especially if you’re in engineering, maintenance, quarry, production
@@jitlv rewarding?? did you not ever work in the yard? sure pays fucking great but its absolute shit work
@@DR-fc1ey i’m not talking about the losers in the yard lmao
What about on a drone Bud
How many of your employees die of acute lungs failure a year? 🥱
What a view 😍 imagine a lunch break there!
Imagine taking a big giant shit there 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They make it sound so fun and dandy
Yep they do
Would be interested in zero-emissions mining for smaller scale concrete, using electric tractors and U.T.V.s.
Most mining equipment already use electric engines, they just get power from diesel generators/engines, as soon as battery tech gets better, its a pretty easy switch
@@benjaminsletten9434 And those batteries and vehicles are still manufactured using fossil fuel byproducts and strip mined materials. There's no getting away from it...
Why..... do you like wasting money?
They don't say anything about the CO2, cement being one of the biggest problems of our world😂
True
Why is it a problem, CO2 is what makes plants grow?
Take a shot every time he says cement
Hey 👋 we are a heratige society on Vancouver island and we have one of your old Michigan loaders
I study civil engineering
im here to learning about the cement trade because i think its very lucrative and could be my next business
Best of luck
Best of luck very Heavey industry I'm trying to get into one in Canada just for genrel labour and want to make some money before I switch to pharma since I'm.not to bright i'l be honest I plan on assitent and then technician since it makes it easier and they will pay for you to become a full fledged one if they deem you good enough but hoenslty there getting fired like no tommoro but with a the tech I can work in hospital order shit give shit out and get paid up to 40 childish end game will be able to work both on and off hopefully and pulls in around 80 bucks total per hour if i can get it to work cuase i'l be honestly 20 dosent even seem tht much I want to try and make as much as possible so.i can live my life when I'm.older and do whatever I want So I need to make around at least I figured 100k or more per year and then spend shit on art and donate shit and resell it as a donation for more or somthing not gunna lie kinda how you avoid certain taxes kinda bad but it's legal just spend it like anyone would as an investment as well tho or building I also want to resale house later when I get enough but with our worl nowadays shits hard even harder in Alberta where they hate pharma lmfao not tht much but hoenslty I want to start my own bis or pharmacy just a small local owned type to thing somewhere in etheir a really shitty area of a city becuz if I get robbed extra paycheck but as well more people from the lower income get hurt or need shit so it works since it's mostly industrially workers like labourers
